10,000 Hour Rule
« on: September 29, 2009, 07:33:46 PM »
Alfsauve mentioned the book Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell as a good read and I took him up on his recommendation. Thanks, Alf! This book is absolutely fascinating!

One of the points in the book is that in order to be a master of anything, one needs 10,000 contact hours to reach that point. The author's main point is that what we tend to ignore the environment someone comes from judging skill and success. To be sure, innate talent is necessary but not as much as one thinks.

I highly recommend the book and I think you all will find it enlightening.

I've found that all it takes to be an 'expect" or "master" is the title..................

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

I've been doing pretty much the same thing for nearly 20 years, 40 hours (or more) a week, 50 weeks a year......40,000 hours is probably a conservative estimate...

I learn something new every day!  There is more to being an expert than experience, it takes the ability to adapt and change when necessary, to revise the thought process and re-evaluate things when unpredictable change occurs.

Timothy,
Get the book from the library or buy it from Amazon; I think you'll be enlightened.

Ever hear of Chris Langan? I had not until I read the book and he is someone not lacking in ability, but whose life is nowhere near what his talent "says" he should be at....

I've never been able to get into non-fiction.  I find it rather tedious and boring, reminiscent of textbooks and technical manuals.

Give me good fiction or history and I'm hooked.  The rest, I'll take your word for it...no offense intended, I'm sure he's a talented author...

I've known dozens of so called "Experts" in their field in engineering who can't find their ass with both hands and a flashlight!
